Before you read, I want everyone to know I am usually a dirty racer in the other racing gamers I've played. So I know how contact works. Small contact between vehicles shouldn't launch you several yards.
I'm pretty sure anyone who has played the new Sparrow Racing League mode (SRL) has realized that some weird things happen when you clash Sparrows. A lot of people have problems like being launched into the air and to the side after taking a slight nudge by another Sparrow.
Basically all I want is for Bungie to fix contact between Sparrows. When I'm tapped, I shouldn't be launched 8 feet into the air or flipped over and to the side.
Bungie could fix this by making it to where they change the hitbox of Sparrows. This could fix some of the problems that come with the shape of the Sparrows hitbox.
I honestly want to have a contact mode in this. I think Contact on every racing game is fantastic! But not when you're flipped from a nudge or launched up by a side bump. If Bungie fixed the contact, I would be completely satisfied with the racing part of this magnificent idea.
TL;DR: Bungie needs to fix contact to where these weird outcomes don't happen after making contact with another person's Sparrow. I am all for Contact races, but not when contact works like it is.

I've noticed a lot of stuff like this, so I agree it needs tweaking, but not too much. My biggest gripe is when I'm in or around the lead, take a nice line through a corner by breaking at just the right point, then everyone behind me just barrels in with no brakes, and they all hit me and shunt me out into a wall while they carry on due to being full throttle all the time. Unfortunately though, after years of experience playing racing games, I don't think that's something that Bungie will be able to fix!
